You don’t have any silicone in your formula. You can’t expect to make a product that works as well as one with a silicone without using a silicone.
Also, ingredients like Shea butter, Avocado oil and olive oil can leave a heavy film on the hair. And slippery elm extract? - that’s not doing anything.
You also don’t have a preservative in the formula which you need.

Silicones work so well, I’d definitely recommend them. You can also try cationic guar (https://www.makingcosmetics.com/Guar-Gum-Cationic_p_309.html), or a polyquat (https://www.makingcosmetics.com/Polyquaternium-10_p_82.html)
Do you know what percent of BTMS is the cetearyl alcohol? You may need to bump
